Anything to get dice off the table. These are bases from Warbases in the UK.

Great work & thanks for posting!  I am a big fan of using casualties and other visually appropriate bits & pieces as replacements for dice, chits, or other "unit status" markers during games.  Another useful type for later 19th Century Colonial warfare is ammo boxes.

Could not absolutely agree more, Brian!  Pat, AKA: Silver Whistle, has one of my all-time favorite blogs.  His painting and terrain-building work is fantastic, and the Zulu War armies and terrain he did a few years ago -- including some great converted camp vignettes using Perry ACW figures, and a bunch of those custom-made ammo and supply elements you refer to -- were among the very best.

I so loved his work that I copied the basing style.

You've done a good job, they are really nice. I did a similar thing with the Warbase bases but for Dark Ages. It really livens the board up to have figures on it besides the rank & file. In our case we needed them anyway as it was for Hail Ceaser games but whatever the need they do look  aesthetically pleasing.
